"Channel Locks" work well also to remove things like this.. Like you are NOT going to replace it with the same one anyway!! [/QUOTE

most of the time you cant get "Channel Locks"to them.

ps on most of the late model you cant get a socket to it.

dont make no dif. im still looking for the one on my LT1 so i can hook it up. been wondering what the pressure was.

Its the metric equivlant of 1" 1/16.Not enough room to turn for channel locks,and its tight and I mean tight,prolly factory.

Am trying to isolate a high volume oil leak from the rear area of this beautiful engine.....trial and error method.....oh yea, a little bit of personal experience mixed in too.
The obvious, like the oil pan gasket or the front/rear seals, is not always the culprit.......
besides, before the oil level light glows red...the check engine light rears its ugly yellow head, that was my first clue to the sender failure.
Thanks again for your input, I will keep you posted
